Description

Ethan Siegel has achieved the rare feat of writing a textbook that reads like an engrossing page-turner. This is a book that belongs on the reading list of every undergraduate introduction to astrophysics and cosmology. - Dr Roberto Trotta, Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics at Imperial College London and author of 'The Edge of the Sky: All you need to know about the All-There-Is' Beyond the Galaxy is an excellent way for less cosmically minded physicists to fill in the gaps in their astronomy knowledge, and thereby transform 'things I've vaguely heard about' into 'things I actually know something about'. - Physics World A look up at the night sky reveals a treasury of wonders. Even to the naked eye, the Moon, stars, planets, the Milky Way and even a few star clusters and nebulae illuminate the heavens. For millennia, humans struggled to make sense of what's out there in the Universe, from all we can see to that which lies beyond the limits of even our most powerful telescopes. Beyond the Galaxy traces our journey from an ancient, Earth-centered Universe all the way to our modern, 21st century understanding of the cosmos. Touching on not only what we know but also how we know it, Ethan Siegel takes us to the very frontiers of modern astrophysics and cosmology, from the birth of our Universe to its ultimate fate, and everything in between.
